I have had a wonderful time on the weekend digging through both my stash and scrap bin, creating huge piles of messed up fabric. My search was for just the right prints to create the vision of a quilt that has been whizzing around in my head. Something "low volume" but with a hint of color and definitely scrappy, very scrappy.

It feels like I am on the right path. It's definitely scrappy, and I have included a wide variety of fabric designs, styles and fabric types, including hand screen printed, vintage (reclaimed bed linens), Japanese imports, feedsack fabric, as well linen, and modern quilting cottons.

I finished sewing the quilt top on Sunday evening, but promptly decided that bigger would indeed be better. So, today was spent going through my fabric stash once again, cutting more squares and re-jigging the layout.

i am really into low volume right now as well. i just love it. beautiful quilt rita..but all of yours are. i have no idea how you turn these out so quickly. i need you to come to my house and straighten me out!

What a fabulous quilt. Love the gentle colours and all the different fabrics. It's low volume but so much prettier than others I have seen as there are more interesting colours and designs in the fabrics. Your scrap bins must be a sight to behold. Any change of seeing photos of them one of these days?

You prolly won't see this as you are doing a giveaway and lots of comments to read but I gotta tell ya anyways LOL Clicked on a pinterest link to quilts (haven't really paid any attention to pinterest before) and several pictures were there. One just popped off the page and I thought "oh, that is Red Pepper Quilts" Sure enuf, it was. You have such a 'signature' way with your pictures. And they always bring me pleasure. So--THANKS!
